French Philosopher

 2 Sept. 1819 Quare whether to employ these four pages on this topic?

He who raises here a cry against French Philosophers - Hic inger est

Helvetius

Voltaire with Hume on early history of the human mind

With much better reason may conspiracy /complicity[?]/ with misrule and abuse in all its shapes be imputed to the utterers of fallacies: in the shape or in [...?] of any of the other fallacies. Tell[?] [...?] having been given of these.

Amongst the most ample /extensive/, and to the defenders of abuse and misrule most useful applications of this fallacy is that in which the vituperative takes for its special object a class of men by the name of the French Philosophers.

Employed as synonymous to Philosopher is Atheist: to French Philosopher accordingly French Atheist.

In virtue of the association of ideas a prosperity and but so successfully pre-established association, prodigious in extent and efficiency is the service done by this one phrase. Instruction[?] of matchless /pre-eminent/ ability both in the moral and intellectual line rendered odious - national antipathy fostered /fomented/ religious antipathy fomented both antipathies but to natural neither of them requiring the /any supposed/ help of art, both of them /antipathies/ fraught with the scenes of endless war /war/ the grand source of physical miseries /suffering/ and political corruption.
